I picked Total War: Rome II for $16 and change over at GamersGate. It’s $20, plus if you don’t buy anything from GG for a while they send you a 20% off coupon :)
Is Lifeless Planet worth the $10? It looked like a cool idea to me.
Reviews I’ve read have said the early promise of the premise is squandered pretty quickly.
The powerful promise of the premise peters out pretty precipitously?
Precisely!
The pellet with the poison’s in the Vessel with the Pestle… *
*from The Court Jester (fantastic 1950’s comedy with Danny Kaye and a young hot Angela Lansbury if you can believe it).
I was thinking of the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle and the flagon with dragon that has the brew that is true when I wrote that, actually. I just couldn’t think of a way to link to it that wouldn’t baffle most readers.

The RPS review was fairly glowing, as I recall.

How is Rome II at this point? Have patches fixed some of the release issues or are there more entrenched design flaws?

The new version of Rise of the Triad is on sale at Steam. Worth 3 bucks?
Warlock 2 is 50% ($15) off on Steam for today only. I seem to remember it not being terribly well-received here. Anyone have an opinion on it? I liked the first one a lot, though I got a little bored with it before Armageddon Mode came along and spiced it back up again.
It’s largely MOTS, and the tepid reaction was based more on the $30 price point, I think. At $15 it’s not a bad deal.
If you got bored of the original warlock, would this new game have enough “newness” to entertain or is basically the same game with minor improvements?
If you’re bored of Warlock, you’ll be bored of Warlock 2.
Lori Singer was great in Warlock with that goofy old-age makeup, and they dropped her out of Warlock 2. But they kept Julian Sands, and he holds the whole thing together. I greatly enjoyed Warlock 2. Great oldschool campy gore-filled horror.
I got bored of Warlock but had fun in my 1 Exile campaign in Warlock 2 where I made it to the end. That might have given me 15-20 hours. I haven’t had the desire to play it again though.
